The Big Bang Theory: How long will Howard be in space?

Killing two birds with one stone, Howard and Bernadette tied the knot — in a rooftop ceremony that was seen from space via a Google satellite, natch — before he blasted off into space on his NASA mission. Executive producer Bill Prady has already said that the writers have considered leaving Howard in space when Season 6 premieres — and we're all aboard for that. There is major comedy to be mined from Howard being where Big Bang has never gone before — not to mention Bernadette having to deal with Mrs. Wolowitz by herself. He can shuttle back during, say, November sweeps?
